DENMARK!

Hans Christian Anderson
Great Danish story teller
and possible cannibal.

Denmark is one of the world's finest countries. There are
no slums and poverty is non existent. All Danes have health care,
good housing, a clean environment to live in, and get good education.
The women are beautiful and the streets of Copenhagen are colorful
and vibrant.

In July 1998 many newspapers published the results of a poll
that measured human ignorance. The poll tested thousands of people
on questions like; "What's a molecule?" (Only 11% answered
correctly!) The poll discovered that only half of the interviewees
knew the earth took a year to revolve around the sun and that
early humans did not live at the same time as dinosaurs! These
were the results for every country tested except for Denmark.
Only the Danes scored lower on the worldwide ignorance scale!

When people think of cannibals they envision vicious barbarians
living in remote cultures deep in far away jungles. However,
anthropologists and historians, such as Will Durant, believe
that, "Cannibalism was at one time practically universal."
* We are all probably descendants of people who enjoyed human
flesh.

But do not think that this cannibalism existed thousands of years
ago in the stone age. Pulitzer Prize winner, and perhaps the
20th century's greatest historian, Will Durant wrote that cannibalism
took place in Europe, in Denmark at least as late as the eleventh
century.**

So what is it about the modern Danes that led them to build a
beautiful and just society with the world's highest standard
of living? Could it be that their ancestors had a little extra
protein boost?

Copenhagen, one of the world's
most beautiful and livable cities,
was built by cannibals.
